Writing Challenges
Do you face a significant challenge in your life? Maybe your health or that of someone near to you? Possibly you are going to complete a race or marathon or other physical challenge such as homelessness or maybe you face a mental challenge of some kind, overcoming addiction, a mental health problem, starting or continuing a diet, or motivating yourself to complete your studies.
Whatever your challenge, big or small, whether it’s one listed above or something totally different, you can write about it. You may find someone else with the same problem that you can help or gain help from.
Writing Prompt
Do you face a daily challenge or even a weekly, monthly or annual challenge? Try writing about your ongoing problem and how you face it. You may be overcoming it or it may be one that you will have to live with. You may be getting treatment, or not and you may have made choices about that.
